Default Spark Plug Question
I'm due for a spark plug change in my 2003 2500 HD. What kind of plugs should I use and what should I gap them at?

Thanks in advance!!!!!!!

NGK TR5's. Leave them at preset gap. It's the same plug as stock (*heat range) but a little better plug I think.

5's not 55's. The 55's are one heat range colder than stock. The 5's will have the right gap out of the box. If you just want to gap them though I think 50 or 55 thousandths would be a good.
